| lures, say: "A comparatively strong and
| hedltuy tone was preserved during great
| portion Of the y. Somewhat better advices

| influences, and in addition To considerable
| cover ng there was Il further effort to force
| up April as check TO foreign call. Ca,h ad-
| vanced 1919 points, the most marked being on

CHICAGO. Marcn l5.--This proved TO oe
another sensational day IN wheat. AS the
-ession advanced he suspicion grew that tne
bull, clique were selling out their ''long"
" heal, and the great quantities dumped on
the market appeared To confirm this view :.
| The starting price for May delivery was size
or @c lower than the closing f:jIres last
night. The market held steady Tor short
Time and then began to recede slowly under
| large offerings. The market was very stub
| born at about S0kc, but the quantities. oil
wheat which pressed Tor sale finally became
so large that shortly before noon the price
dropped to 1890; Is hell there steadily for a
short time, when another deiuge OF waeat
came on the market, and the pit became
! scene OF u wheat panic. There was sudden
plunge to 1896, the decline bringing out
| Iren endous Quantities OF long wheat, and
causing the announcement OF the ialiure OF
one firm. During the decline the comInis-
| sion houses were compelled to close out
! numerous trades for Customers whOse mar
| gins had expired. There was also free calling
! of margins, all of which were promptly
spOnued to. The market rebOundGd from the
| inside figure even more rapid Y than it had
/ declined. "Snorts." VINO endeaVored to cover,
| found lit wheat on sale, and The clique bull
houses were open buyers for large Quantities.
| The market rallied 20 So &c, and stopped there
! at / O'Clock. In the afternoon the market
opened at S03sc aud rose 10 Sl1@c without
| stopping. nnally closing. at SI1E43l4c. The
| clearngs from three Atlantic ports aggre-
! gated 260 600. Receipts continue TO be lree,
! aggregatiuS $4,000 bu-hels At eleven points.
| wniIc the shipment from the same points ag-
! gregated $4,000 bushels. Tue corn markct
| r.ied moderately steady early in the gay, bu,
/ finally became heavy under large offerings.
| Prices breaking of &c from the opening
| figures, rallied &c. aud nnally closed "a
| lower than yesterday. Receipts continue
free and Shipping ne nand is moderate. Dat.
! ruled dull and slightly easier, closing a shade
terest was lignl. and there wa, very little
change in prices. Lard advanced ,oGl2!ac
| per 100 pounds early. but fell back and closed
! sharp advance OF 20 d30c in short ribs early
| in the day, but the advance was nearly ali
! Subsequently lost.
